York, PA – Drivers in south-central Pennsylvania should prepare for slippery roads early Sunday as a Winter Weather Advisory goes into effect for York and Lancaster counties, with accumulating snow expected to impact travel throughout the day.
According to the National Weather Service in State College, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. EST Sunday, with total snowfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches forecast across the region. The advisory covers York County and Lancaster County, including the cities of York and Lancaster and surrounding communities.
Forecasters say snowfall may begin before sunrise Sunday, with the heaviest accumulation expected during the morning hours. While snow totals are considered moderate, officials warn that even small amounts could lead to slick and hazardous road conditions, especially on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses.
The advisory highlights potential travel impacts, urging residents to plan ahead if heading out Sunday morning or afternoon. Slower commute times and reduced visibility may occur during periods of steady snowfall.
Motorists are encouraged to slow down, increase following distance, and allow extra travel time, particularly during early-morning hours when temperatures remain cold enough for snow to accumulate on road surfaces.
Pennsylvania drivers can check the latest road conditions by dialing 511 or visiting PennDOT’s traffic information platforms for real-time updates.
Weather conditions may change throughout the day, and residents are advised to monitor forecasts and alerts from the National Weather Service as the system moves through the region.
